Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt was okay, more of a stopping over place than somewhere I'd stay if I was in Recife for a few days. Thete are some hostels that you stay at and you're not surprised when someone switches the light on at 5am and starts packing their gear. This was one of those places.
Breakfast isn't included but they do lay on coffee, crackers and jam in the morning. It's close to a large supermarket. Large under bed lockers.

SwedenThe mattress was to soft so if you are on the heavier side then you will feel the bedframe.
The staff was super nice and friendly. And the hostel is beautiful! A very calm space that is both private and quiet but still is close to all you need like the supermarket, beaches, restaurants and more.

clean, quiet, well organised, nice people, staff super friendly and helpful, well located! Just few min walk from the amazing Pina Beach, supermarket, pharmacy, clubs and restaurants, bus stop to Recife Antigo. Arthur the guy at the check in gave me all the detailed information to get a perfect staying. Michel also from the reception was super friendly and willing to help with anything I needed, always smiling and respectful. Adriana was super kind and gentle, usually hung up with her in the morning organised us coffee and an unbelievable homemade jam w crackers which was totally an unexpected surprise. Of course all other people from the staff where as much good! it was a same for me to have different plans already scheduled otherwise I’d stayed at Cosmopolitan Hostel wide longer. Definitely recommend!!

BrazilPlenty of beds per area in 2 of the 3 shared rooms. Clogged toilets, clogged sinks and beds with drawers that made a huge noise when opened. They could remove some beds and charge higher daily rates, as they are in a very popular neighborhood in the city, and thus offer a little more comfort to guests. In the future, if it undergoes renovation, the place will look great, but for now, I wouldn't go back.
The owner and one of the employees I had contact with were very attentive. The place has a full kitchen with all the utensils for you to prepare your meals.

Germanythe place looks a little run down. Especially the bathrooms and the kitchen look very old and not very welcoming. Breakfast is just some coffee, tea and some biscuits. The rooms are very simple and unpersonalised. The living room / common area looks a little like a flea market garage.
Very sweet guy at the reception with great English when I arrived. Nice little pool with some plants. I loved the board with suggestions what to do on each day of the week, not sure if they where up to date. I loved the cold water dispenser.

United KingdomFIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS IN MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS LIVING IN THE 3rd WORLD !!!!! Some hostels are professional and so good across South America but this is money driven, please don’t stop reading !!! I paid for a 6 bed but was in an 8 bed similar to a bathroom size, each bed is touching with no space at all in the middle !!! When he opened to door I really thought he was joking,,, I was so angry !!! I paid another 75 realis for a private room where the Wi-Fi doesn’t work unless I put my phone by the door no where near the bed. The road has many dangerous crack heads which seem so different to many in Brazil, I am very street wise and these after telling them NO, they look like they want to rob me, I am far from stupid and can see these things 🙏🙏🙏. The manager was helpful at the start but then it moved on to tours, MORE MONEY FOR THEM. I will post videos on my Instagram Jamesmembury… please see before coming !!!! THE WORST ROOM I HAVE SEEN IN 80 hostels and my life …… this hostel wants £££££&$$$$$$$$$€€€€€€€ ….. PLEASE IF THIS MESSAGE CAN HELP 1 PERSON …. FIND A BETTER HOSTEL … have a great time in this fantastic country and stay away from money grabbing hostels, the name convinced me but there is absolutely nothing cosmopolitan about this hostel !!!!!! I feel bad writing this and never leave bad reviews but these guys deserve this for thinking people are like pigs
I will be totally honest … 1 very nice staff member with big hair, many nice people in the hostel

AustriaFirst of all, the bunk beds were really unstable and noisy. The mattresses were also very thin and old, mine was especially dirty beneath the sheets. The room was so small and packed with bunk beds. The hostel in general really loud and it’s especially bad because the walls are so thin. The bathroom nearly fell apart on one toilet there wasn’t even a toilet seat! For such a big hostel also only 2 bathrooms?! Bad stay, wouldn’t recommend!
Actually only the location!

They even get into the bathroom. Try have a phone convo or just relax in any common area and you’re gonna get bitten A LOT. Rooms and common room was very dark and uninviting. Staff were lovely though.
